Learning from bees the hard way!

Yesterday I got the brilliant idea to check honey stores on one of my
hives without smoking them. That turned out to be a terrible idea!!!
They ended up stinging me three times so I will definitely be suiting up
for ALL future “quick” inspections. FWIW: Honey bees put out an
attack pheromone when they
feel threatened. When I opened their home they did what their instincts
told them to and stung the crap out of me. This definitely taught me who
the boss was! Bees 1 - Average Dude 0.
